Weathering Lab

Weathering Exposure

Manufacturers send their products to a laboratory like Applied Technical Services to confirm or discover aspects of its physical, chemical, and thermal properties. One category of testing that our technicians perform is sample weathering, where they use a range of methods to establish the test sample’s resistance to damage over time from various environmental stressing factors, such as humidity and UV radiation.

This broad category of testing is broken down according to specific weathering agents that the ATS weathering laboratory simulates during tests. Depending on the needs of the client and product, we may subject sample materials to one test performed to a single standard, or multiple tests each performed to their relevant standards.
